As noted in our Twitter update, it does appear that Time Warner Cable's Northeast Ohio division has rolled out the first wave of its coming HD channel lineup expansion.

We aren't near the OMW World Headquarters and our own TWC installation, or we'd verify it for ourselves.

Anyway, since we've already written about this extensively, with the help of TWC NEO executive Bill Jasso, we'll just put up the company's press release in this space...with thanks to the company's Travis Reynolds...

Discovery Channel HD, channel 449, is dedicated to creating the highest quality non-fiction content that informs and entertains its consumers about the world in all its wonder, diversity and amazement. The network offers a signature mix of compelling, high-end production values and vivid cinematography across genres, including science and technology, exploration, adventure, history and in-depth, behind-the-scenes glimpses at the people, places and organizations that shape and share our world.

USA HD, channel 443, is a leading provider of original series and feature movies, sports and entertainment events, off-net television shows and blockbuster theatrical films.
